What makes you a top prospect at your position in the 2025 NFL Draft? 

I have a very high IQ when it comes to knowledge of the offensive line and defensive alignment and tactics. I am also very versatile and have started at every position on the line at least twice.

What is one thing that NFL teams should know about you?

I believe NFL teams should know that I like being a leader and I am very talkative before, during, and after the play as I believe to be a good communicator across the line of scrimmage making sure everyone is on the same page.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be? 

I would donate to the Make-a-Wish Foundation as I suffer from a disability myself so I get and understand the different challenges they go through. 

Who was your role model? 

My role models are Jason Kelce, Joe Thomas, and Quinton Nelson. The reason being is because of their understanding of the game, along with their dominance of the line of scrimmage losing very rarely, and lastly, their technique as I was able to take some things from their game and apply it to my own.

Who is your favorite NFL team?

My favorite team is the Kansas City Chiefs as I first started watching them back in 2012 when Matt cassel was still the quarterback for them as well as another offensive lineman, Jack Bicknell Jr.

Who is the most underrated teammate at your school?

The most underrated player on my team is Nate Criqui. He’s a defensive end who was behind too great all conference defensive ends and he will finally be able to step in and prove what he can do.

What is your biggest pet peeve? 

My biggest pet peeve is when players are aren’t taking notes in meetings when going over practice as this is something that has helped me tremendously and it makes me wonder how you can remember stuff without going over it and writing stuff down that they messed up on.

Who is your favorite teacher ever?

My favorite teacher is Professor Krone at Sterling College as she is easy to work with and willing to do a lot to help you pass as she is very forgiving. She has done a lot for me with my time at Sterling College as well as she teaches all of her classes very well and makes everything very understanding.

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome? 

My hardest moment to overcome was just recently with my grandfather passing away right before a game and I had to make a decision to go see him the day before the game and miss the game or go play and not have that chance to ever see him again. I ended up Choosing to go see him and even though it was hard seeing him like that, it gave me a reason to continue what I was doing and to do it for him.

If you could have any franchise restaurant in your house what would it be?

If I could have a franchise restaurant it would be Freddy’s because they have good burgers along with good sides and of course good custard. That is something that always satisfies my hunger.

What is your degree in?

My degree is Health and Human Performance with a concentration in Strength and Conditioning as whenever my career comes to an end, I’d like to become a strength and conditioning coach for a college football program.

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why? 

If I could have dinner with 3 people they would be Kobe Bryant, Eric berry, and Adam Sandler. Kobe Bryant because he was a very inspirational person when it came to work ethic and heart. Eric Berry because he is my favorite chiefs player all time. Lastly, Adam Sandler because he is absolutely hilarious and an amazing actor.

What is your biggest weakness?

My biggest weakness is confidence as I know what I am supposed to do a lot of the time, but question it until I know I am 100 percent sure. Very close to that is my upper body strength as that is something that I need to improve on a lot as well.
